The American Nightmare Cody Rhodes is currently feuding with Brock Lesnar on Raw. He will face the Beast Incarnate at Night of Champions in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia. Rhodes underwent a vicious attack at the hands of Lesnar and suffered an injury this week on Monday Night Raw.

According to Xero News, WWE plans for Rhodes to face off against Bray Wyatt at SummerSlam in August. There have only been discussions about it and nothing has been finalized yet. The report states that if Wyatt does not return, WWE might go with Cody vs. Brock at the biggest event of the summer.

After their match at Night of Champions, the American Nightmare is likely to go on hiatus. Rhodes can take some time off to justify his injury and skip the Money in the Bank event. The WWE Universe can expect Bray Wyatt to return after Night of Champions. The company has been hinting at it for a while now.
